In 1982 he published ''Matthew: A Commentary on His Literary and Theological Art'' analyzing the Gospel Of Matthew . Gundry used Redaction Criticism in his work. He thus argued that Matthew adapted the story of Jesus to appeal to the intended audience. Especially problematic was Gundry's assertion that Matthew made ahistorical additions to the infancy story in Matthew 1 and 2 . This sparked a major of controversy in the ETS. Gundry contended his work did not question the inerrancy of Matthew. Rather he argued that the Bible was never meant to be a work of history and that the religious content contains no errors. Gundry's view was supported by a significant portion of the ETS. The Society's executive looked into the matter and at first cleared Gundry. However a campaign against Gundry was launched, spearheaded by Norman Geisler . This campaign succeeded and in December 1983 Gundry was expelled from the ETS. EXTERNAL LINKS |
